10th Annual TexasCowboy Memorial Shoot - Planning Thread

And KC, CC has a beautiful skyline with buildings a lot taller than one would expect for a city that's not well known outside of Texas. And having watched the game at Arrowhead where it was around 20 degrees, let me assure you it's a tad warmer in Corpus. It's also windy and warm in March, hence a kite flying event is held there.

Yeeehaw!!

Are you my long lost sister, onyx? I think our views on nearly everything are in perfect harmony.

Could be!

My father was a Texan! Graduate of the big University that's in Austin.

Come to this next Shoot!

[luvie]

Here are the cabins. You just GOTTA come to this one!

[onyx]

We LOVED that place!!!!
re-nortex, you have to attend!!!!

[luvie]

Indeed you do! We love meeting new FReepers and you’ll love us. Promise. :D

[onyx]

FOR SURE!

[luvie]

You could come through FT. Worth and caravan with us and miss Houston. :)

(I am assuming that would be the plan!)

If cpdiii is able to make it to the shoot he will provide lunch

The hell with work. I will be there. The question is does the Texas Cowboy Gang want Brisket and Chicken, Shrimp Creole and Chicken on the side or my Seafood Gumbo with chicken on the side. About a month before the shoot we need a vote on the menu.

Question for the Mom. The El Roy Gang has a tendency to eat a late breakfast and then go to the shoot. Would it be better if I cook for the evening meal at the cabins or at the shoot. It is the same to me either way. At the shoot two years ago I was a bit embarrassed as we ran out of brisket and thus this year I also cooked extra and also brought chicken. This year we had excess and my dog was very appreciative of this. Thus the question is do I cook at the shoot are for the evening meal.

I am retired now but do work every other weekend to make a little change for important things like flying my glider, trips, firearms, and the Texas Cowboy Shoot. If they want me to work that weekend I will call in "dead" and tell them Monday it was a miracle and show up for work the next weekend.

I really enjoyed staying with the Texas Cowboy Gang at the last shoot. It is like being with family but nobody gets pissed off at each other. These times are special and it was great to meet Fling Wing Flyer and his family and to sit down and have adult beverages with the gang, even Humble /S. We love you Humble :)

As OIL FIELD TRASH I had a particular like for El Roy. When I first meet him at one of his shoots, it was instant rapport. We had been to many of the same places around the world but not at the same time. "If you "aint" OIL FIELD TRASH" you will not understand.

El Roy is special. Our shoots are a time for like minded spirits to get together and have fun in the name of EL Roy, he would like that.

Looking forward to seeing the Gang Again. We are different and that is good!

I pray I can, June is very busy for us up here

You and me both. June is one of the busiest months of the year for the home improvement industry (which is my business).

This one will be a toughie for me and Libertybel, but we'll be there.

[Windflier]

Thanks for the ping, Mom!

I’ll be checking in on the thread from time to time, now that I’ve got it bookmarked.

The venue looks stunning. Libertybel and I have been wanting to get down to South Texas since we moved here ten years ago, and now’s our chance. Thankfully, we’ve got a full seven months to make it happen.

Correction.

My reference to “Fling Wing Flyer” should be to “windflyer”

Senility really sucks
